Is this so? Always wondered about this? I see some 7300 with the 45 MHz
specification, some at 50. The 7600, some at 40 I think and some at 50. My
7600 "was" at 120 MHz and so 40 MHz bus - which is what I have been taking
as my cue to set the speed of my upgrade card: a PowerLogic G4 on my 7600
running at 360 MHz. Does this mean that I can run the 7600 at 400 (the
multiplier is 8 if I remember?)
